I'm not sure if I should go bespoke or not?  

We will guide you and tell you which service we feel may be best for you. 

Can I create a completely bespoke AJ?

Yes, you can! We are now offering a fully bespoke service. You can choose everything from your cap to your hair texture and colour. Click here to book your 1-2-1 consultation.

Can I customise my AJ exactly how I want her?

Yes, you sure can! Please email info@amberjeanshop.com to schedule a time with one of our wig experts.

Are bespoke wigs refundable?

No — they are not refundable, as we work with you every step of the way in designing the piece.

Are bespoke wigs much more expensive than the core collection?

The bespoke piece can be up to £400–£700 more expensive than the core collection, depending on each client’s needs and desired specifications.

I'm not in London—can I still book a studio consultation?

Absolutely! International customers are welcome to book a studio consultation. We offer virtual appointments via video call, so you can enjoy the full experience and personalised service from anywhere in the world.

Where is the AJ hair from?

We source the highest quality hair from across Asia, working only with vetted suppliers we’ve personally visited and verified. Every piece is handmade by skilled local wigmakers who are paid fairly and treated ethically — values that guide every step of our process.

Are the knots bleached?

Yes! Most of our wigs have lightly bleached knots for a natural look. We avoid heavy bleaching since it can damage the hair and cause shedding — your wig’s longevity always comes first.

Is the hairline natural?

Yes! Our hairlines look super natural. With our bespoke service, we create a hairline tailored to each woman, since everyone’s hairline is unique. Even with our core collection, each wig comes with soft, minimal baby hairs for a natural finish.

Will the hair piece fit my head?

Our core collection pieces come with a standard medium-sized cap that can be easily adjusted using the strap at the back. With our bespoke service, you can choose your exact cap size, and we’ll tailor it perfectly to fit your head for a comfortable, perfect fit.

What is meant by hair density?

Density refers to the thickness of the hair piece. All our pieces come in a standard 130% density, though with our bespoke service, you can choose a density anywhere from 110% to 180% to suit your preference.

What texture is the AJ hair naturally?

In our core collection, you can choose between smooth or wavy textures (check out the images on the product page for reference). With our bespoke service, the choice is yours — from straight and wavy to coily or afro, we can create the perfect texture for you.

Will the lace suit my complexion?

Yes! Our Swiss transparent lace suits all complexions. With our bespoke service, you can also choose a naturally darker lace shade if you prefer, ensuring the perfect match for your skin tone.

Do you charge VAT on your wigs?

If you are experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons (e.g., alopecia or cancer), you are medically exempt from paying VAT. However, if you’re wearing a wig for fashion or other non-medical reasons, VAT will apply.

Can I wear a wig if I have hair?

Yes! It’s all about choosing the right cap construction for you. We’re here to help — you can book a consultation to find the perfect fit and style.

Orders & Delivery

Once I order my hair how long will it take to arrive?

Your new hair will be with you in 8-12 weeks. After your order has been placed, your AJ piece will be sent to our team to be coloured and cut to create your unique style.  We will send you updates at each stage of the process and notify you when your parcel has been shipped 😊 Please note we do not cover import taxes or fees

How will my hair piece arrive?

Your hair piece will arrive in our beautiful bespoke packaging with a cotton bag for safe storage.  We will also send a link to our 'how-to' videos for all of Amber's tips and tricks! 

Why does the colour of my hair piece look slightly different to what I saw online?

All our hair pieces are coloured by hand so you may notice subtle variations in colour as explained on our product pages. 

What is your returns & exchange policy?

Please visit our Returns policy page for all details. 

Care & Use

Can I wash and style my hair piece?

Yes, of course! Our pieces are made with ethically sourced real human hair, so they can be washed and styled as you wish. For tips on caring for your hair piece, head to the guidance section on our website. Please note: we don’t recommend wearing your wig in chlorine pools, as this can dry out the hair and affect its color.

Do you need tape / glue to secure your hair piece?

You only need tape or glue if you’re wearing a full lace hair piece. For all other cap constructions, no tape or glue is required — we recommend using our velvet bands, which you can find on our website.

Are the AJ wigs secure?

Yes — all of our wigs are secure. Just follow the guidance on our website for the best way to wear them, and rest assured, your wig isn’t going anywhere!

How long will my hair piece last for?

Your hair piece can last around 2 years with proper care. After 8–12 months, you may need a refresh or maintenance, which we offer here at Amber Jean. For full care tips, head to our guidance section.

Do you offer a repair service if my hair piece starts to shed?

Yes! For a small fee, we offer a repair service so that when natural wear and tear happens, your favorite hair can be restored in safe hands. Repairs generally take 3–4 weeks, depending on the severity of the shedding or the work required.

Wig Rental

What is the Amber Jean wig rental service?

Amber Jean wig rental is the first-of-its-kind luxury wig hire service, designed to make premium wigs more accessible. You can rent our signature styles for a few days or a couple of weeks - perfect for events, or simply trying a new look - no string attached.

Who is the rental service for?

Everyone! While we’re proud to support women experiencing hair loss, our rental service is also for fashion lovers  and anyone who wants to experiment with a new colour or style. It’s about self-expression, confidence, and fun — not just practicality.

How much does it cost to rent a wig?

Rental prices range from £100 for 3 days up to £600 for 14 days, depending on the style and duration. This gives you access to the same luxury wigs Amber Jean is known for, at a fraction of the purchase price.

Can I try before I rent?

Yes! You can book an appointment to come into our London Fields space to try on before you rent. The rental service is a great way to try a wig before committing to purchase - many of our customers rent to test the fit, colour, or style before ordering their own custom piece if they would like to buy.

How long can I keep the wig?

You can rent a wig for 3, 7, or 14 days. Longer rentals may be available upon request — simply reach out to our customer care team for bespoke arrangements.

How do I return the wig?

Each wig comes with clear care and return instructions, plus pre-paid packaging for easy returns. We ask that wigs are returned in good condition by the agreed date to avoid late fees.

Can I wear a wig if I have hair?

Yes! We’ve chosen a cap construction that works for everyone — whether you have full hair, partial hair loss, or no hair at all. All of our rental pieces use this cap, so it will work for you.

How does your rental agreement work?

Our rental agreement explains everything you need to know about booking, care, and cancellations. You can view it here.
